Abstract (en)
A pasted image with reduced blurring and distortion is generated, in a short period of time, with a small amount of calculation. Provided is an image-acquisition apparatus 1 that includes: a stage 6 on which a specimen A is mounted; an objective lens 8 that collects light from the specimen A mounted on the stage 6; a stage driving unit 7 that drives the stage 6 in the direction intersecting an optical axis of the objective lens 8; an image capturing unit 9 that acquires images by capturing the light collected by the objective lens 8; a deterioration-level calculation unit 14 that calculates deterioration levels contained in the images acquired by the image capturing unit 9; and an image generating unit 11 that generates a pasted image by pasting the images acquired by the image capturing unit 9, wherein the image generating unit 11 generates the pasted image by combining, for a common region of two images that are mutually pasted, an image with lower deterioration level calculated by the deterioration-level calculation unit at a higher combining ratio.
